  1. They’re both good recruiters that suck at coaching. 

    Something I had completely forgotten: Herman finished 5th in AAC the year before he came to Texas. The AAC. 5th place. And for whatever reason no one in charge (or most of the fans on the shag) saw that as a potential red flag.

    We should have started with them first.

    Jesus Christ. The first 2 teams on our schedule COMBINED for 6 wins last year. It's unbelievably sad that opening the season against a team that won 4 games the previous year is too steep a challenge for the Longhorns. But gee whiz Maryland is too tough and scary to start the year against. We just suck and it doesn't matter what order we play teams in.

    I think Helobious secretly wants to start a "which quarterback would you want to have sex with" discussion. nttawwt

    No I'm really not, I could never do that to your mother. But maybe she should play QB, she never chokes when it's all on the line.

    Explaining the last interception

     

    Holy fuck. Our starting QB thinks it's not even an option to throw the ball away or run on 3rd & 10 in the opponents territory with over a minute left. I'm being 100% serious here, there are junior high QB's that know better than that. Did Sam not hear/understand the question or something? What an incredible answer. 

  5. Don't want this to sound like an insult, but Sam is just a funny-looking dude. No homo (but NTTAWWT), I legitimately can't think of a good QB that was also unattractive. It's why I don't have high hopes for Rising or Thompson either. We need to recruit better looking people at QB.

    It sure as fuck as. Every coach since him has had to throw true freshmen into the fire at key positions like QB, OL and DB. True blue blood programs are redshirting guys even 4- and 5-stars at those positions and we are just tossing them out there year after year. They lose confidence and desire and then we wonder why they weren't "coached up."

    Georgia, Bama, Washington, and others have had success recently with true freshman QB's. 

  7. He’s an outstanding young man, a tremendous representative of the university, he’s honestly a solid QB, and I highly suspect that he’ll lead a more successful life than I ever will. 

    However in high pressure situations with the game on the line, he’s just about the last person on earth I want taking snaps. He’s like the anti-Colt McCoy.

    To be clear, that's Midland Lee that beat Smithson Valley not the San Antonio Lee.

    A little surprising to see O'Connor winning the Steele matchup.  I saw O'Connor scrimmage SVHS last week and they didn't seem very good.

     

     

    O'Connor lost a lot but has a really good o-line and running back. Very well coached as well. Steele is the most individually talented team in the area, more than Judson even IMO but since Saenz took over they seem to start seasons sluggishly. Once October rolls around they'll be humming. 

    Anyone familiar with Tyler John Tyler? I know they were good back in the day but have no idea how good they've been lately. Cedar Hill beat them 57-0 tonight and I'm trying to gauge how impressive of a win that is.

    I did a double take when he mentioned the Jacob Rosales controversy in the Vela-United write-up. That's fucking astounding that he knows about that. Dude must have some deep valley connections or he browses the 956 sports forum, either way that's really impressive journalism.

    (tldr; Rosales is regarded as the best QB in the valley. Played for Mission Pioneer for 3 years, tried to transfer to Vela for his senior year. Got denied due to typical valley pettiness and will play for Pioneer again this year. In fairness all the coaches hate Vela down there because they rather blatantly recruit the best kids in the Edinburg/McAllen/Reynosa area to play for them. They do it in all sports)
